Thanks, Endo.
I waffled a little on what to do with the bronze scale armors. I felt that they deserved to have at least the same protection as their iron counterparts - in the spirit of the other changes. But, I felt guilty about leaving their rcosts lower, and so I upped them too.
To be honest, I don't have a good feel for how iron armor rcosts should relate to bronze armor rcosts. (From the Arco standpoint, I would love to see bronze rcosts consistently be less, but I'm trying to be balanced.
) Some of things that may or may not determine rcost would be casting versus forging (time and effort expended) and the fact that at least two different metals need to be supplied to make bronze. Any guidance on rcost tweaks would be appreciated.
